Extract A: The Heron and the Crab by Anonymous
A long time ago, there lived a heron, by the side of a pond brimming with fresh fish. He was a lazy creature, who wanted to find a way to catch all the fish without any effort.
One day, he got an idea! He went to the side of the pond and put on a gloomy face. His friend, the crab, came alongside him and asked, “What is bothering you, my dear friend?”
The heron said, “Alas, my friends! I spotted fishermen making hungry nets in the village nearby! Soon, they will come to our pond to catch all the fish.” On hearing this, the inhabitants of the pond were devastated.
The heron said, “Luckily, I know of a pond not far from here, where all the fish will be saved.” So, everyday, some fish would volunteer to be carried in the heron’s beak, to the safe pond.
The heron would take the fish each day and on reaching a large rock, he would eat all the fish, leaving nothing but their bones behind. For many days, the sly heron got a continued supply of fish without any effort.
But the wise crab was suspicious of the heron’s motives and one day, volunteered to go with the heron to the new pond. As they were flying, the crab was shocked to see his friends’ bones lying around the rock.
He realised there was something fishy going on, but chose to wait and watch. The heron took the crab to the rock to eat him up. Seeing this, the alert crab tightened its claws around the heron’s long neck and threatened to choke him.
“Please, spare me!” cried the scared heron, knowing his game was up. The wise and merciful crab let go of the heron’s neck, who promised never to be so deceitful again. The wise crab had saved the day.
Extract B: The Nightingale and the Blindworm by the Grimm Brothers
Once upon a time there lived a nightingale and a blindworm, each with one eye. For a long time they lived together peacefully and harmoniously in a house. However, one day the nightingale was invited to a wedding, and she said to the blindworm, “I’ve been invited to a wedding and don’t particularly want to go with one eye. Would you be so kind as to lend me yours? I’ll bring it back to you tomorrow.”
The blindworm gave her the eye out of the kindness of her heart. But when the nightingale came home the following day, she liked having two eyes in her head and being able to see on both sides. So she refused to return the borrowed eye to the blindworm. Then the blindworm swore that she would avenge herself on the nightingale’s children and the children of her children.
“Well,” replied the nightingale.
“See if you can find me. I’ll build my nest in the linden, so high, so high, so high. You’ll never be able to find it, no matter how hard you try.”
Ever since that time all the nightingales have had two eyes, and all the blindworms, none. But wherever the nightingale builds her nest, a blindworm lives beneath it in the bushes and constantly tries to crawl up the tree, pierce the eggs of her enemy, and drink them up.
How do the heron in extract A and the nightingale in extract B resemble each other?

Back to School
Alarm rings: such a clang!
Such a contraption invented!
With such a nasty bang
Is my day started!
No sleeping in anymore, 5
Meandering in dreamland;
Alas! No curling up anymore,
This is reality land!
A whirlwind of activities,
Blurring my morning, 10
Ending in curses,
As my bus doors slam.
I feel like a zombie,
Riding the bus;
A walking, dreaming zombie, 15
Inhabiting the bus.
Thus is the school year begun,
Thus it shall end!
When will some sense dawn,
Such cruelty to end. 20

How is the poem constructed?
A. | Hide and seek has been played by everyone. Most parents have played with their kids since kids like to hide and look for things. I’ve heard that this game can be played in many different ways. Sometimes you count to twenty, sometimes to ten, and sometimes to a hundred. Sometimes you can run to a home base and tag it to become “safe,” and sometimes you just have to wait to be found.
The idea is that one person is “it.” That person closes his or her eyes and counts to a certain number without looking and then tries to find the others. |
C. | Chinese jump rope requires three people or one or two good chairs. It’s easy to do indoors with a solid floor. This game involves jumping, like jumping rope. A lot. But you jump in a pattern. Two people (or chairs) put their feet in the rope and stretch it out, allowing a third to jump between them. The third person, or jumper, jumps left, right, inside, outside, and on the ropes.
Everyone should use the same pattern. The rope starts around the ankles. After a successful jump, the rope is moved to the calves, knees, and thighs. That’s usually it. Once you miss, it is someone else’s turn. |
B. | Kick the can combines tag and hide-and-seek. A person or team is “it” and a can is placed in the playing area.
Others hide while “it” covers their eyes and counts. “It” then tries to find everyone. If a person is tagged by “it”, they go into a holding pen for captured players. If one of the uncaptured players manages to kick the can, the captured players are released. The game is over once all the non- “it” players are in the holding pen. |
D. | Capture the flag is a fun group game. Divided into two teams, each with a flag or other marker. The goal is to run into the other team’s territory, capture their flag, and return safely.
“Enemy” players in your territory can be jailed. They can be freed by a member of their own team running into your territory, tagging them, and running back. But only one freed person is allowed per jail break. All the prisoners could hold hands and form a chain back to their own territory, making them easier to tag. |

D. | Capture the flag is a fun group game. Divided into two teams, each with a flag or other marker. The goal is to run into the other team’s territory, capture their flag, and return safely.
“Enemy” players in your territory can be jailed. They can be freed by a member of their own team running into your territory, tagging them, and running back. But only one freed person is allowed per jail break. All the prisoners could hold hands and form a chain back to their own territory, making them easier to tag. |
Which extract mentions about a game where players jump over a rope that starts around the ankles?
A. | Hide and seek has been played by everyone. Most parents have played with their kids since kids like to hide and look for things. I’ve heard that this game can be played in many different ways. Sometimes you count to twenty, sometimes to ten, and sometimes to a hundred. Sometimes you can run to a home base and tag it to become “safe,” and sometimes you just have to wait to be found.
The idea is that one person is “it.” That person closes his or her eyes and counts to a certain number without looking and then tries to find the others. |
C. | Chinese jump rope requires three people or one or two good chairs. It’s easy to do indoors with a solid floor. This game involves jumping, like jumping rope. A lot. But you jump in a pattern. Two people (or chairs) put their feet in the rope and stretch it out, allowing a third to jump between them. The third person, or jumper, jumps left, right, inside, outside, and on the ropes.
Everyone should use the same pattern. The rope starts around the ankles. After a successful jump, the rope is moved to the calves, knees, and thighs. That’s usually it. Once you miss, it is someone else’s turn. |
B. | Kick the can combines tag and hide-and-seek. A person or team is “it” and a can is placed in the playing area.
Others hide while “it” covers their eyes and counts. “It” then tries to find everyone. If a person is tagged by “it”, they go into a holding pen for captured players. If one of the uncaptured players manages to kick the can, the captured players are released. The game is over once all the non- “it” players are in the holding pen. |
